Afternoon Yoga practice, Umag, 25th of September
A guided gentle yoga and relaxation sequence.
"Relaxation is a very important part of yoga āsanas. Because with relaxation, you can do the āsana better."
"Just feel your whole body. Feel the refreshment. Feel the freshness in your body and the increased circulation throughout the entire body."
An instructor leads a session focused on gentle movement and deep bodily awareness. The practice includes side rolls, Marjari (Cat-Cow) breath counts, shoulder rotations, Dvikonāsana (forward fold with clasped hands), and Catuṣpādāsana (a standing pose leaning onto palms). The core theme is the connection between physical relaxation and the effectiveness of the posture. The session concludes with a prolonged guided body scan in a supine position and the chanting of the mantra "Nāhaṁ Karataḥ."
